"I tattooed my own nipples"
Tattoo artist Lucy Thompson chats mastectomy tattoos; depression and sexual assault.
Lucy Thompson from Yorkshire Mastectomy Tattoos invites Kat and Jen into her clinic in Bradford where she specialises in permanent 3D nipple tattoos for people who’ve been through breast cancer surgery and for those wanting to cover up their scars. The trio don medical gowns before the big reveal and Lucy chats about fighting to be taken seriously as a female tattooist in a male dominant trade.
The mum-of-one waves her right to anonymity to talk about overcoming the trauma of being raped and how she's faced the depression that followed.
Jen’s experiencing unexplained internal pains and Kat’s got lumps on her lady bits. Jen’s kitted out with an appropriate shirt for a naked occasion whilst Kat’s getting hyped about a special outfit of a different kind whilst deciding whether she should take the plunge and lose her inking virginity!
